As USC’s endowment grows, so does its capacity to transform bold ideas into life-changing realities, for the university and everyone it serves. By contributing to USC’s endowment, supporters are able to provide enduring sources of funding for the people, programs, and activities they care about and wish to nurture. Because the principal is not spent and a portion of the income is reinvested, an endowment lasts in perpetuity. Every gift to endowment, no matter the size, will allow USC to achieve our greatest goals in the coming decades and have an impact for generations to come. Establishing an endowment in some academic disciplines such as science or medicine may require a higher endowment level.
